Ever felt like you’re doing everything right in your career, but still on the edge of burnout?

Yeah, me too.

I’m Nia. I'm a creator and speaker helping young professionals build fulfilling, sustainable careers without losing themselves in the process.

Over the past 3 years, I’ve worked across the marketing world, from managing high-profile personal brands agency-side to shaping content strategies in-house. That experience taught me a lot about ambition, burnout, and the messy middle we don’t talk about enough.

So I started sharing it.

In 2022, I began posting on LinkedIn. Not as an expert, but as someone figuring it out in real time.
And somewhere along the way, 20,000+ people decided to come along for the ride.

Since then, I’ve been:

🏆 Awarded Best Breakthrough Marketer (2024) by Passionfruit
✨ Named one of Alt Marketing School’s Top 100 Marketers To Watch (2024)
💬 Featured by Girls In Marketing as a Top Marketer To Follow and as a course contributor (Laying The Foundations for Career & Marketing Success)

Now I help my audience:

→ create habits that actually last
→ rethink success beyond hustle and burnout
→ build careers that align with who they are, not just what they do

If you’re a brand looking to reach ambitious Gen Z professionals, or you're searching for an authentic, relatable voice on career growth and mindset, let’s talk.

Because the best career advice comes from someone still figuring it out 💭

You can build your personal brand alone. Until you can’t.

I’ve been posting on LinkedIn for three years.

I know my voice, I know my story, and I know how to show up online.

But at some point, every creator hits a wall.

Not because they’re “not good enough” or they lack ideas.

But because growing a brand isn’t supposed to be a solo act.

So yes, even with all my experience, I still bought Danielle’s playbook.

Because there’s only so far I can grow by myself.

Fresh eyes help you see your blind spots. New frameworks sharpen your thinking.

Other creators’ expertise helps you level up… without copying a single thing.

There’s no award for figuring everything out alone.

Your brand grows when you grow, and sometimes that means investing, learning, and letting someone else guide you for a change.

So if you’re reaching that point where doing it solo just isn’t cutting it anymore…

You’re not failing. You’re evolving.

And your personal brand should evolve with you.

Thank you so much to Women Innovators in Digital and Design for inviting me to speak at this year’s Winter Meeting 🩷

It was such an honour to be part of this incredible event and finally meet everyone in person! 

I learnt so much and left feeling truly inspired by all the amazing women I had the chance to speak to.

This was my first in person presentation, so I was definitely a little nervous, but everyone’s support made it an unforgettable experience 🫶

When I started out, I thought my age was a weakness.

→ I didn’t go to uni. 
→ I didn’t take a traditional path. 
→ And I was young. 

For a long time, that made me doubt myself.

I thought experience was something you had to wait for.

But I see it differently now.

Starting early taught me to be curious. 

And to trust my gut when the path wasn’t clear.

This is a strength, not a setback 👏

The truth is, you don’t need permission to chase your goals.

You don’t need a perfect plan to begin.

You just need belief and enough courage to back yourself.

That’s why I care so much about helping other young women go after their dreams too.

Because the moment you stop seeing your age as a weakness, you realise it’s actually your superpower 🫶

From viral moments to sold out world tours, Dua Lipa has perfected the balance between artistry and influence.

Whether it’s a TikTok trend or a red carpet statement, every move she makes reinforces her distinct identity.

Her personal brand shows how authenticity, confidence and strategic consistency can build a global presence that feels both effortless and intentional 👏

Swipe to uncover the branding lessons behind her success.

Personal branding lessons from Dua ✍️

Everyone thinks owning a business means:

→ Working from cute cafés 
→ Passive income rolling in 
→ Endless “me time”

Meanwhile, we're saying “it’ll calm down next week”... 

For the 47th week in a row 🫣

It’s not the easy life people think it is. 

But let’s be real, we wouldn’t trade it for anything 🫶

P.S. Which one are you today?
